PITTSBURGH, Aug. 4 – The City of Pittsburgh has been awarded $1,533,315.69 from the state’s Greenlight-Go Program to replace outdated traffic signals at three intersections, announced local state Reps. Aerion Abney, Lindsay Powell and La’Tasha D. Mayes, all D-Allegheny.
The funding will serve to replace traffic signals at the following intersections:
- Bingham and 10th Streets in the South Side Flats, located in Abney’s district.
- Butler and Main Streets in Lawrenceville, located in Powell’s district.
- East Liberty Boulevard and Larimer Avenue in the neighborhoods of the same name, located in Mayes’ district.
"This investment will improve safety and reliability for everyone who travels through the South Side,” said Abney, chair of the House Democratic Allegheny County Delegation. “Replacing outdated traffic signals at the Bingham Street and 10th Street intersection will help keep pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, and drivers moving more safely and efficiently. I'm proud to support state investments that strengthen our infrastructure and improve daily commutes for Pittsburgh residents."
“This funding will help to ensure that our local roads are safer for both drivers and pedestrians,” said Powell, city vice chair of the Allegheny Delegation. “This is especially true for Lawrenceville, where an intersection along our most significant throughway will now have the investment it needs to help keep all of us safe.”
"These investments are about making our neighborhoods safer and improving the infrastructure that residents, businesses, and visitors rely on every day,” said Mayes. “Replacing these outdated traffic signals will enhance safety, reduce congestion, and help keep people moving through our community more efficiently. I'm proud to support these improvements and to help bring these important state resources back to the district."
The Greenlight-Go Program is a competitive state grant program designed to improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals in Pennsylvania and is administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
